Why cant your rocket could never reach the speed of light?

Physics
1 answer:
Oksanka [162]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The length of the object would shrink to zero which is not possible.

Explanation:

A rocket or any body cannot reach the speed of light because according to theory of relativity the and the Lorentz factor the length of the object would shrink to zero and the time dilation for that body would be infinite.

The Lorentz factor is given as:

\gamma=\frac{1}{\sqrt{\frac{v^2}{c^2} } }

where:

v = speed of the moving object

c = speed of light

A thin film of oil of thickness t is floating on water. The oil has index of refraction no = 1.4. There is air above the oil. Wh
kkurt [141]

Answer:

t = 120.5 nm

Explanation:

given,    

refractive index of the oil = 1.4

wavelength of the red light = 675 nm

minimum thickness of film = ?

formula used for the constructive interference

2 n t = (m+\dfrac{1}{2})\lambda

where n is the refractive index of oil

t is thickness of film

for minimum thickness

m = 0

2 \times 1.4 \times t = (0+\dfrac{1}{2})\times 675

t = \dfrac{0.5\times 675}{2\times 1.4}

        t = 120.5 nm

hence, the thickness of the oil is t = 120.5 nm

Jason walks 20 m East, turns around and 20 m West, Finally, he walks 10 rn North. This takes 20 s. what is Jason's velocity​
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

0.5 m/s north

Explanation:

Take east to be +x, west to be -x, north to be +y, and south to be -y.

His displacement in the x direction is:

x = 20 m − 20 m = 0 m

His displacement in the y direction is:

y = 10 m

His total displacement is therefore 10 m north.

His velocity is equal to displacement divided by time.

v = 10 m north / 20 s

v = 0.5 m/s north
